MySpace was given less than a year to turn the newly redesigned ship around as Chase Carey, News Corp&#8217;s president, declared  MySpace &#8220;a problem&#8221;. &#8220;The current losses are not acceptable or sustainable. Our current management did not create these losses but they know we have to address them,&#8221; he stated. Quarterly losses at MySpace have jumped by $30 million  to $156 million.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Traffic numbers are still not going in the right direction&#8221;, continued Carey and &#8220;we judge (performance) in quarters, not in years&#8221;. He said that last week&#8217;s redesign of  &#8220;has been generally well received by the opinion makers in the business but we recognize the critical issue is building interest with consumers&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>If stats don&#8217;t improve at MysSpace in the next few quarters, a sale rather than a shut down is expected.<\/p>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hypebot.com\/hypebot\/2010\/11\/news-corp-gives-myspace-just-months-to-improve.html?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+typepad%2FDqMf+%28hypebot%29&amp;utm_content=FaceBook\">News Corp Gives MySpace Just Months To Improve &#8211; hypebot<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I hope your official website is not a MySpace page.
